10 | |
11 | ''The Holy Post'' (formerly the Phil Vischer Podcast) is a Christian news podcast hosted by Phil Vischer of ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' fame and author and pastor Skye Jethani. Frequent co-hosts are filmmaker Christian Taylor and Seminary student Caitlin Schess. |
12 | |
13 | The show includes discussions on news stories and interviews, often with Christian pastors or authors. (Though not always; they've also interviewed atheist thought leaders a few times) |
14 | |
15 | ---- |
16 | !!The Holy Post provides examples of: |
17 | |
18 | * AffablyEvil: While maybe not in real life, this is how Phil Vischer views his 'favorite Satanist' Lucius Greeves. |
19 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Skye commonly refers to himself in jest as "ethnically ambiguous".[[note]] He's half-Indian and half-Swedish. [[/note]] |
20 | * ARareSentence: Several, usually [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] with the phrase [[RunningGag 'that should be put on a t-shirt.']] Just a few: |
21 | ** If you bow in prayer to your fajitas and they explode in your face, it isn't Applebee's fault. |
22 | ** The crotch wasn't invented until the fourteenth century. |
23 | ** Up is down, left is right, we can't find our way, and the burger is a harbinger of the future! |
24 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: One episode is titled 'Indiana, Religious Freedom, and Pizza!' |
25 | * AudienceSurrogate: Christian Taylor's professional background is in media, not theology, and she's a little more grounded than Phil; so she often asks questions or makes remarks the average listener would. |
26 | * CloudCuckoolander: Phil. |
27 | * CompanionCube: Phil Vischer's ukulele, which he calls [[AlliterativeName Plinky Pete.]] |
28 | * DeadpanSnarker: Let's just rename this trope to 'Skye Jethani.' |
29 | -->Phil Vischer: [[ItMakesSenseInContext The court ruled that fajitas are an inherently dangerous food.]]\ |
30 | Skye: [[ToiletHumour It's usually after I eat Mexican food that I learn that.]] |
31 | * EnragedByIdiocy: Skye, specifically when it comes from within the Church. |
32 | * FaceHeelTurn: Eric Metaxis was the very first guest on the show and a writer and voice actor on [=VeggieTales=]. Now, he and Phil are at odds due to Metaxis's politics and Phil's stance against Christian Nationalism. |
33 | * InstantWebHit: In 2020, after the murder of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter taking the front page, Phil [[https://youtu.be/AGUwcs9qJXY put out a video on race in America]] to help his primarily white evangelical audience understand these systemic issues. He didn't expect it to go viral, becoming the most watched/listened to piece put out by the Holy Post to date. |
34 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Skye is the professional scholar to Phil's antics, but he sometimes laughs at the "News of the Butt" segments and is the most like to make [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar off-color jokes]]. |
35 | --> ''"Phil, nobody wants to see your Veggie Tail."'' |
36 | * OnceAnEpisode: |
37 | ** From the Phil Vischer Podcast days: the theme song and closing song. The Holy Post still has an opening song, but as the interview segment is separate from news, they're spit in half by a quick promotion. |
38 | ** Phil is going to comment on Christian Taylor's wardrobe color. |
39 | ** In the zoom meeting days during the pandemic, Phil commenting on Skye's office looking like the [[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]]. |
40 | * PainfulRhyme: Earlier on, Phil came up with each episode's closing song on the spot, and it usually results in these. |
41 | -->''"She's the very model of a modern modest matriarch,\ |
42 | She works as a voice talent and she listens to her patriarch\ |
43 | She likes to be on podcasts where we talk about the atheists\ |
44 | And then we... go to bakeries and.. we try all of the pastry-ists..."'' |
45 | * TheSmartGuy: Skye, who loves reading and approaches things in a methodical way. |
46 | * TheSpock: Skye's approach to his faith is primarily based in historical and cultural analysis of Scripture and Jewish and Christian scholars throughout history, over emotionality. |
47 | * StraightManAndWiseGuy: Skye and Phil, respectively. |
48 | * TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Often Phil. |
49 | * TeamMom: Christian Taylor |
50 | * TheWatson: Christian, the "layman" of the group, plays this role especially in "Christian Asks", where she asks Skye theological questions. |
51 | * WomenAreWiser: Invoked by ''everyone'' telling Phil to listen to his wife and stop arguing on Twitter. |
52 | * YouGoGirl: The group commonly speaks out against sexism in the Church, actively encourages women to pursue Seminary and pastoral paths, and interviews women about their journey on these paths. |
